In what feels like the blink of an eye, we’ve made it through another year. With the craziness of the election, Olympics, pop girl summer, and the near-constant lookalike contests (Timmy, we love you), the last 12 months have been a doozy, so give yourself a pat on the back. Better yet, why not treat yourself to a luxury beauty gift in the form of one of December's best new beauty launches? This month’s slate of new skincare, haircare, and makeup products had team Marie Claire ending 2024 on a high note. Once you add one of these best new beauty products to your routine, I’m willing to bet you'll close out the year on a high note as well.
Personally, what got me through the finish line of 2024 was Tatcha’s brightening serum. The Meghan Markle-approved brand brightened my dark spots and singlehandedly changed my view on what a vitamin C serum can be (but more on that later). Then there were a couple of new perfumes that became favorites in my vast vanilla fragrance collection, as well as a few haircare discoveries that are now part of my everyday routine.
